Greetings!
NSLA and the Council of Chief State School Officers have launched a new State Summer Learning Network to support states with long-term strategies to “reimagine summer school” and leverage new federal funding aimed at learning recovery. We’ve convened a network of nine states to promote community system-based strategies for summer learning. This partnership, supported in part by The Wallace Foundation and MetaMetrics, will also offer broad support to all states focused on evidence-based summer learning strategies and equitable summer learning opportunities for all students.
